Madison Declares A Snow Emergency

The City of Madison has declared a snow emergency. That means that alternate side parking restrictions will be in effect throughout the entire City of Madison including the downtown/isthmus snow emergency zone.

Madison residents are asked to remove all vehicles from the street if possible. Residents who must park on the street this evening should park on the ODD house numbered side of the street. Vehicles parked on the street Thursday evening December 15th should be parked on the EVEN house numbered side of the street. The Snow Emergency will remain in effect until 7 a.m. on Friday December 16th.

Parking is also available in the cashiered sections of city-owned ramps in the downtown area. During a declared Snow Emergency you can park for no charge at the City ramps from 1a.m. until 7 a.m. If you leave after 7 a.m. you are liable for any parking charges from 7 a.m. until the time you leave. When parking in the ramps over
night, do not park on the top level so this area can be plowed. Be aware that vehicles stored in city ramps longer than 48 hours are subject to being ticketed and towed. Meters in lots and ramps are enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
Violations of the alternate side parking rules are punishable by a fine of $10 throughout most of the city and $20 in the downtown/isthmus snow emergency zone.
